Tribute to: Arnold Newman

Arnold Newman's environmental portraits offer the world unique images of famous-and not so famous-people. His images show people within an environment that says much about them. Often a very personal aspect of the subject is revealed by the surroundings and the decisive moment in which Mr. Newman captures his subject. This challenge for images which reflect Arnold Newman's style of environmental portraiture. Because he often worked on a tight schedule (famous people often allow only a few minutes for a private session) there is a date restriction for submitted images. Please read addtional rules. Thanks.

Capture date rules:

Images must be shot after the announcement date of the challenge.

Additional rules:

No head and shoulder shots. The environment must be a recognizable part of the photo and preferrably say something about the subject: what they do, an aspect of their personality, where they live, etc.

Humans must be the subject of the photo. Animals or pets can be included, but should not be the main subject.

Group shots are allowed, but must still comply with the above rules regarding the surroundings/background.

No snapshots. The portrait must be a result of a determined effort by both photographer and subject(s) to make the portrait. The subject doesn't have to "sit a pose": they can be engaged in an activity which helps to communicate something about them.

EXIF data is required to verify capture date. Images without EXIF data will be disqualified.
